Drums with Francisco N.

I have most experience teaching kids between 6 and 14 years old and I am proud to say that their parents consider me a positive influence in their children’s lives. A great education always starts with good communication with the parents. This is why I try to involve them as much as I can. One thing I can assure you is that I love what I do and that I always give my best. In case you were wondering, I was born and raised in the beautiful country of Guatemala in 1989. Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to participate with multiple renowned artists and institutions. I spent my "early days" touring Central and South America with Guatemalan rock band “Woodser” (No.1 song in top national radio). In 2011, I moved to Los Angeles, CA after I obtained a scholarship to attend Musicians Institute. As a student I won the Artist Development Showcase (x2) and got the chance to form a band with Canadian rising artist Travis Cormier. Since 2014, I have been associated with grammy award winner Barry DeVorzon and his son Daniel DeVorzon. Our live performance was recognized by popular magazine Music Connection in 2017 after a sold out show at the legendary Roxy. “Drummer N. hits hard and makes it look effortless.” During this time I also had the opportunity to work on recording sessions at Red Bull Studios LA with recording/mixing engineer James Musshorn. In 2017, I joined Music Nation as a full-time drum teacher after I realized that my true passion is teaching this amazing instrument. I developed my own drum program with the goal of providing support material to my students and to encourage them to develop the same passion for music that I have. I teach drum lessons in English, Spanish, and French.
